Majestic

Backlink checker and link intelligence index with Trust Flow

Majestic is a specialist backlink checker that maps how websites link to each other and scores them with its Flow Metrics, Trust Flow and Citation Flow. It is built for link analysis rather than keyword research, with a Fresh Index of recently crawled links and a Historic Index for long-term link history. On MarketingMonster, you open Majestic inside Monsterium, our desktop browser, in a private session.

What you can do with Majestic

  • Site Explorer

    Look up any domain or URL to see its backlinks, referring domains, anchor text, top pages and Flow Metrics, using either the Fresh Index or the Historic Index.

  • Trust Flow and Citation Flow

    Citation Flow predicts how influential a URL might be from the links pointing to it, while Trust Flow reflects link quality based on closeness to trusted seed sites.

  • Topical Trust Flow

    See which topics a site is trusted for, across Majestic's category taxonomy, to judge whether a link prospect is truly relevant to your niche.

  • Clique Hunter and Backlink History

    Find sites that link to several of your competitors but not to you, and compare how link profiles have grown over time with Backlink History.

Who uses Majestic

  • SEO agencies auditing a client's link profile before outreach
  • Link builders checking Topical Trust Flow to qualify relevant link prospects
  • Domain buyers reviewing a site's link history before buying an expired domain

Majestic: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Trust Flow and Citation Flow?

Citation Flow measures link influence from the links pointing at a URL, while Trust Flow measures quality from how close a site sits to trusted seed sites in Majestic's link graph. Both run from 0 to 100, and a Trust Flow far below Citation Flow can signal low-quality links.

What are the Majestic Fresh Index and Historic Index?

The Fresh Index holds links Majestic has seen in its recent crawls, ideal for checking a site's current link profile. The Historic Index keeps a long archive of links found over the years, including ones since removed, which helps with audits and research into a domain's past.

Who should use Majestic?

Majestic suits SEO professionals, link builders and agencies who need deep backlink data: auditing link profiles, qualifying outreach targets, analysing competitors' links and checking a domain's history. It focuses on links, so pair it with a keyword tool for content research.
